"The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees"
-Money (That’s What I Want)
Folk #1: Yes. But, of course, the best things in Life are free. Yesterday, we experienced a little glimpse of Paradise. Easy to tune out the swirling madness of the unraveling shit-show. It helps that we live in a progressive, blue-bubble town. If there are any MAGA fascists here, they are laying low. Not visible.
Sunny, blue sky, perfect temps in the 70's, a slight breeze off the lake; the day embraced & carressed my friend and I, as we found ourselves basking in the tall grass in front of a historic residence bounded by big trees, with newly sprouted green leaves softly swaying all around us.
Yes. The best things in the Life are free: a casual, aimless conversation with a good friend, a friendly smile from a stranger on the path, dragon flies buzzing the air above us, a child's laughter, tracking the birds flying dipping and swirling, our own silly, uncommon, laughter emerging from our own mouths, an overwhelming joy surging through our bodies. We were both surprised to discover that we were happy & content just to revel in the moment, to moment. The day seemed to stand still for a bit, just to let us luxuriate in being alive.
You can't put a price on moments, events, beautiful experiences, like that. The best, for sure. Free, of course.
